May Week

[1] Nowadays, May Week takes place in June after exams, and is a cause for great celebration amongst the students of the University.

Highlights of the week include bumps races, May Balls, June Events and garden parties.

By this Sunday, all students have finished exams but most of the results have not been published, so it is traditionally a period of nerves and suspense.

[3][4] Caesarian Sunday is traditionally a final opportunity for students to get drunk on Jesus Green before exams begin.

[5] May Week Alternative (MWA),[6] is a "feel good" initiative set up by undergraduates at Cambridge University to encourage students to celebrate the end of the academic year through charitable endeavours.
